-- Problem: The paint on the rompers' cap snaps presents a lead poisoning hazard. The affected rompers have orange or red snaps. No injuries have been reported.

-- Product: About 800,000 Felix the Cat roller fun balls made by Determined Productions Inc. and distributed with kids' meals between Feb. 10 and March 4 at Wendy's restaurants.

-- Problem: The glued seam holding the halves of the balls may separate, releasing small plastic fish. The fish represent a choking hazard. Wendy's has received two reports of the balls separating and one report of a child starting to choke on a plastic fish.

-- What to do: Take the balls away from children and return them to a Wendy's restaurant for a free replacement toy. For more information, call Wendy's International Inc. at 800-443-7266.

-- Product: About 50,000 model ECM9 Mr. Coffee Steam Espresso/Cappuccino makers made by Health o meter Inc. and sold between September 1996 and February 1997.

-- Problem: The filter holder's construction could make it difficult for users to rotate the holder securely into position. If not secure, the holder can dislodge and break the glass carafe. Consumers could be cut by broken glass or burned by escaping steam, coffee or coffee grounds. Health o meter has received 43 reports of the filter holder dislodging, which resulted in three injuries.

-- What to do: Health o meter Inc. will send replacement filter holders, filter baskets, revised instructions and coupons for Mr. Coffee filters to consumers who call the company at 888-999-3934. Have your espresso/cappuccino maker available to verify the model number.
